Here are some photos of the roll bar I am installing.  Here it is only 6 points, I am adding 2 bars that will go forward along the sides of the front seats, for a total of 8 points on the bar.  The bar is made of 1.75" DOM tubing that is .120" thick.  This meets all rules by the NHRA and IHRA.  The seat belt shoulder harnesses bolt onto the cross bar which is 1.25" DOM .120" thick.  The mounting point is no more than 1" below the shoulders, as required by the rules.

    OK, here we are in April, and it is in the mid to upper 70's already!  I love it!  I have the roll bar finished, and the car back on the road.  Here are some photos of the completed bar in the car.  I need to pick up a little more roll bar padding, but other than that, it is done.  I have the two bars going forward, the two rearward, and the two that go toward the center.  All in all, this bar adds just over 80 pounds to the car.  as you look at the photos, you can see the "Fat Mat" sound deadening that I am putting in the car.  More weight, but the sound deadening is well worth it.  I put a lot of miles on the car, around 8,000 each summer, toning down some of the resonate noise is well worth while.  In case you are wondering what the box is in the middle of the back area, it is the A/C evaporator.  A/C is important to me in any car.  Nothing like being able to be comfortable in the heat of the summer.

    In the photo below you can see the interior light I put on the bar.  It has a regular interior light, and two map lights.  Finally, a convertible that has enough light, in the cabin, to see things at night!  It used to be that I had to use a flash light at night if I needed to find anything.  Now I can read inside if I want!  The enclosure for the light is made from 1/8" steel.  I figure that if I have to work on the car, and lean over the roll bar, (like to work on the ECU in the back), that it should be strong enough that it won't brake.  I think it will be OK!

    Here you can see the car in my driveway with the top down, (a rare occurrence).  I think the bar fits and looks just fine in it.  With the top up, the bar is just into the top.  I wanted the bar as high as I could get it, so that my head would be at least an inch below the top of the bar as required by NHRA and IHRA rules.
